The Reference Panel Also part of the Code panel set, the Reference panel is a handy set of reference books built directly into a panel.

Available by choosing one of the four options from the Workspace Layout submenu, you can easily choose from a pre-configured layout style. Options include Coder, Designer, Dual Screen Left, and Dual Screen Right (for working in dual monitor setups). Choosing one of these options configures the panels and windows according the pre-defined layout. Optionally, you can create your own workspace layout. To create your own workspace layout, follow these steps:
